Determination of the content of wax esters in some sea foods and their molecular composition. A comparison with ω-3 enriched wax esters

Wax esters enriched in ω-3 fatty acids have been recently shown to be readily absorbed by rats after dietary supplementation. Wax esters are less prone to oxidation and can be better formulated than liquid ω-3 derivatives. All these characteristics suggest a possible use of wax esters enriched in ω-3 as food supplements. However, some naturally occurring wax esters are defined as scarcely digestible (jojoba oil, spermaceti). On the other hand, wax esters have been found in several sources of marine origin, which can enter normal foodstuff. In order to better understand the digestibility of wax esters, we have analysed some foods from marine sources. The content of triglycerides and wax esters of the foods has been determined. Moreover, wax esters have been analysed for their composition in alcohols and fatty acids. Wax esters have been shown to be a part of the neutral lipid extract of the foods analysed. Their content, if compared with the content in triglycerides, shows striking differences. In the case of two botargo preparations, it has been shown that wax esters are more than 90% of the total neutral lipid extract. The content of fatty acids and alcohols found in the foods analysed is consistent with published data.     

Synthesis and characterization of polyethylene-like polyurethanes derived from long-chain, aliphatic α,ω-diols

Long-chain aliphatic α,ω-diols containing up to 32 consecutive methylene groups were synthesized by several methods and characterized. 1,22-Docosanediol HO-(CH₂)₂₂-OH and 1,32-dotriacontanediol HO-(CH₂)₃₂-OH both exhibited a solid-solid phase transition before melting. The α,ω-diols HO-(CH₂)_m-OH, where m=12, 22, or 32, were reacted in the melt with much shorter aliphatic α,ω-diisocyanates OCN-(CH₂)_n-NCO, where n=4, 6, 8, or 12, producing a series of linear, aliphatic, and increasingly polyethylene-like m,n-polyurethanes. Characterization (by DSC, TGA, and SAXS) of the m,n-polyurethane series showed that when the aliphatic segments were increased, and the hydrogen-bonding densities thus decreased, the polymers displayed physical and thermal properties (for example, solubility and melting temperature) typical of polyethylene.

Numerical investigations on dynamic stall of low Reynolds number flow around oscillating airfoils

This paper presents a 2D computational investigation on the dynamic stall phenomenon associated with unsteady flow around the NACA0012 airfoil at low Reynolds number (Re_c ≈ 10⁵). Two sets of oscillating patterns with different frequencies, mean oscillating angles and amplitudes are numerically simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and the results obtained are validated against the corresponding published experimental data. It is concluded that the CFD prediction captures well the vortex-shedding predominated flow structure which is experimentally obtained and the results quantitatively agree well with the experimental data, except when the blade is at a very high angle of attack.     

A note on a problem on ω-limit sets of N–dimensional skew-product maps

In 2003, Balibrea et al. stated the problem of finding a skew-product map G on 𝕀³ holding ω _G ={0}×𝕀²=ω _G (x, y, z) for any (x, y, z)∈𝕀³, x≠0. We present a method for constructing skew-product maps F on 𝕀 ⁿ⁺¹ holding ω _F ={0}×𝕀 ⁿ =ω _F (x ₁, x ₂, …, x _n+1), (x ₁, x ₂, …, x _n+1)∈𝕀 ⁿ⁺¹, x ₁≠0.     

Facile Synthesis and Proposed Mechanism of α,ω‐Oxetanyl-Telechelic Poly(3-nitratomethyl-3-methyl oxetane) by an SN2(i) Nitrato Displacement Method in Basic Media

The synthesis of a novel heterocyclic–telechelic polymer, α,ω-oxetanyl-telechelic poly(3-nitratomethyl-3-methyl oxetane), is described. Infrared spectroscopy (IR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have been used to confirm the successful synthesis, demonstrating the presence of the telechelic-oxetanyl moieties. Synthesis of the terminal functionalities has been achieved via displacement of nitrato groups, in a manner similar to that employed with other leaving groups such as azido, bromo, and nitro, initiated by nucleophiles. In the present case, displacement occurs on the ends of a nitrato-functionalized polymer driven by the formation of sodium nitrate, which is supported by the polar aprotic solvent N,N-dimethyl formamide. The formation of an alkoxide at the polymer chain ends is favored and allows internal back-biting to the nearest carbon bearing the nitrato group, intrinsically in an S_N2(i) reaction, leading to α,ω-oxetanyl functionalization. The telechelic-oxetanyl moieties have the potential to be cross-linked by chemical (e.g., acidic) or radiative (e.g., ultraviolet) curing methods without the use of high temperatures, usually below 100°C. This type of material was designed for future use as a contraband simulant, whereby it would form the predominant constituent of elastomeric composites comprising rubbery polymer with small quantities of solids, typically crystals of contraband substances, such as explosives or narcotics. This method also provides an alternative approach to ring closure and synthesis of heterocycles.
